The Enigmatic Return novel Chapter 18

The triplets were shocked. They did not expect that their mother could be such a troublemaker.

Neera was the first to come to her senses.

Oh no! I hope the ball didn't hit anyone. What should I tell our neighbor?

She wondered if she could get along with her neighbor, seeing how she had already ruined their window on the first day they moved in.

Harvey also came to his senses. He tried his best to comfort his mother, "Mommy, why don't we go next door and apologize? If our neighbors are angry at you, tell them that I kicked the ball. I don't think they'd lose their temper over a child's mistake."

"You can say I kicked the ball too!" Sammy said while thumping his chest.

He was the naughtiest among the triplets, so he was the best at apologizing.

Penny also raised her hand and said, "Me… Me too! I'm so cute, our neighbors wouldn't get angry at me!"

Neera could not help but smile warmly.

Why are they fighting to take the blame? It's impossible that a child can kick the ball so hard. Our neighbors won't believe they kicked it!

She shook her head and said, "Thank you, children, but I'm the one who's at fault, so I should admit my mistakes and apologize. If they want me to pay for any damages, I'll have to do it. Let's go next door and see if we hurt anyone."

She turned around and walked toward the front gate. The triplets followed behind her.

I hope no one got hurt! Otherwise, Daddy will have a bad impression of Mommy!

The four people arrived in front of the gate of their neighbor. Neera rang the doorbell without any hesitation.

Meanwhile, in the mansion, Jean and Ian were standing in front of the broken glass window.

Jean's brows were tightly furrowed. It was obvious that he was very displeased.

Ian gulped and said carefully, "It looks like the ball flew in from next door, but as far as I know, that mansion is unoccupied… Did someone move in?"

"Go and find out!" Jean said angrily. "They're lucky the ball didn't hurt anyone. If it did, this place would've been a crime scene!"

Ian said hastily, "Yes, I'll go over now."

He turned around and prepared to go next door and catch the culprit, but the doorbell suddenly rang.

He looked outside the gate.

In the next second, he saw Neera and the three children right in front of him.

Neera did not expect to see a familiar face. She blurted, "Why… are you here? Why did you come out of this house?"

Suddenly, she had a bad feeling about it.

This is too much of a coincidence!

Ian was equally surprised. He did not expect to see Neera and the three children here. "Sire lives here, so I live here as well. How about you, Doctor? …Why are you here?"

Neera immediately wanted to turn around and leave, but the triplets replied enthusiastically, "We just moved in here! Wow, what a coincidence! We didn't expect to be neighbors with Mr. Handsome!"

"We meet again, Mr. Assistant!"

"Is Mr. Handsome inside? Is he feeling better now?"

They seemed very excited.

Despite the initial surprise, Ian had a good impression of the children, so he did not hide the truth from them. "He's feeling a lot better. It's all thanks to your mommy. We thought we wouldn't see you again, but now we're neighbors… This must be fate!"

Suddenly, he remembered why he was at the door. He grinned and said, "I guess you didn't expect to cause so much trouble as soon as you moved in! That ball must be from your house, right?"

Neera was so embarrassed, she wished she could turn back time and stop herself from kicking the ball!

There was no use lying, and she could only admit it. "I'm sorry, we were playing ball in the garden, and I didn't control my strength well. We quickly came over after we heard the sound of glass breaking… Is anyone hurt?"

"No one is hurt, fortunately," Ian answered, "But… not only did you break the window, you've also broken a vase!"

Neera was shocked. A vase? Is it expensive?

She wanted to ask for the price so she could pay for it, but before she could open her mouth, she saw a figure behind Ian.

That was the man she had met in the hotel earlier this morning!

He was dressed in a black suit. His handsome face was still pale and sickly, but that did not diminish his air of elegance and nobility.

"Who is it?" He asked after arriving behind Ian.
